My experience with Dr. Julia Stevenson and Cardinal Plastic Surgery was a complete and utter…read moredisaster, and I urge anyone, especially women of color, to seek care elsewhere. As a Black woman, I felt deeply let down and mistreated by this practice. After my daughter had a breast reduction here (with mixed results, it went well, but her breast was not the B cup she requested), I decided to undergo a breast reduction with nipple graft myself, emphasizing to Dr. Stevenson right before my $20,000 surgery that symmetry and size (A cup) were my top priorities. What followed was a nightmare! Despite diligently following all post-operative instructions, I experienced severe bleeding and delayed wound healing. The nipple graft was an absolute catastrophe. I was left with severely scarred, unevenly sized, and horrifically discolored breasts. What was briefly mentioned as a potential for hyperpigmentation turned into a disfiguring reality. When the discoloration failed to resolve after several months, I contacted Dr. Stevenson's office. This is where the unprofessionalism truly began. I was subjected to at least THREE separate, billable VIRTUAL appointments to address concerns that should have been handled without additional fees. During an in-office consultation, Dr. Stevenson led me to believe that insurance approval for a revision surgery was a sure thing, promising a correction of the damage and a boost to my self-esteem. This turned out to be a cruel charade. After initial confusion and misinformation from her (now former) administrative assistant, it became clear that Tricare had denied the request, initially approving only injections that should have been administered immediately after the initial surgery. Another billable virtual appointment with Dr. Stevenson led to a plan to resubmit the request after a 90-day waiting period. When I asked about alternative options, she suggested plastic surgery to "fill in the discolored areas" or a procedure to "cut out the discolored areas" in her office, and then had the audacity to charge me for the latter, claiming it wasn't "minor." Skeptical that Tricare would approve a second breast reduction so soon after the first, I reluctantly waited. Her office failed to follow up, forcing me to initiate contact in early May. After further delays and lack of communication from her staff, a new administrative assistant submitted the request, which was ultimately denied by Tricare. On June 10th, I received a call informing me of the denial (days after I received a letter from Tricare). I requested a self-pay quote for the revision surgery, and as of today, June 18th, I am still waiting. From my perspective, Dr. Stevenson and her staff displayed a shocking lack of care and professionalism. Once they had my/insurance company $20,000, I felt completely devalued as a patient. This experience has been deeply traumatic, and I cannot stress enough how strongly I recommend seeking plastic surgery care elsewhere. Do not trust Dr. Julia Stevenson/Cardinal Plastic Surgery with your health or your money.

I had been trying to get a breast reduction for YEARS and they walked me through all of my medical history and the criteria I met that my insurance approved it in DAYS.

Time for yet another update…read more Brief background - I've been coming here on and off since 2014 for laser hair removal, mole removals, laser skin treatments, and facials. Dr. Lopes removed some moles for me a few years ago and my results were amazing. No scars and I had one on my chin that you would literally never know was there! It was expensive - something like $100 a mole and I had 9 removed - insurance will not pay for anything here bc it's all cosmetic. I've heard all good things about her and her skills in plastic surgery. I don't know that I'll ever go there, but, good to know she's here if I do want to. I had laser hair removal here years ago with Maggie and, bc of my sensitive skin and some scars on my legs, I had to do lower power on the laser and more treatments. I paid over $4000 for the treatments and Maggie modified it for me as needed to suit my skin. I appreciated this and never forgot it. I was initially given a quote good for 6 months when discussing the laser hair removal so I could leave and think on the investment. Now, when I went back to see Rachel last year - no quotes, just her assessment in the exam room quickly, and it felt like she was just making it up off the top of her head. I didn't think that was as professional as the process in the past. I want to be given an exam and a quote sheet I can take with me so we're all on the same page. I spent about $1000-1200 on some touch-ups and some vascular issues and had an issue with a "follow-up" that I was charged for when I was under the impression it was included in my price since I was being brought in to review the results. No quotes given either - you have to remember and hope she remembered what she said it would be. What? After Maggie retired they did bring in another esthetician for a while also but she's no longer there and my future appointments were cancelled. I believe they have not replaced her and no longer offer facials bc no one has ever called to reschedule and this was over 6 months ago. She was also shady about prices and there were no prices listed the first few times I went and she kept "offering" other things to do or recommended I "needed" but you had no idea what it would cost and some of those things were $90-150 each! If I had said yes to everything - I'd have easily spent $450. Shady. Rain, the office manager, is kind and worked with me to resolve the issue I had with the follow-up mentioned above. The front desk staff are sweet. I just don't appreciate when we're talking about this kind of money, feeling like the prices aren't set - they're made up on the spot. Something about that rubs me entirely the wrong way and makes me pause on coming here for anymore laser follow-up and treatments.

They saw me each week for a month to check on stitches and drains and my overall health. This was truly a great experience. I've had two surgeries with them and will have more if I decide to have something done in he future.

North Beach Plastic Surgery is located in the northern part of Virginia Beach along Shore Dr. It…read moreis near the intersection with Great Neck Rd. This visit was for my mon due to a fall that occurred after being referred here by the hospital. The visit here was on March 25, 2024. The day before this visit, my mom had tripped on the rug heading to another room in the house. She fell face first on the ground. It would turn out to be a broken nose and an orbital fracture. The visit here would be to address the broken nose, as Dr. Sailon was the one on call at the hospital the day before. After getting checked in and getting all of the needed info in order, it would take about 15 minutes to be called back, but that wasn't too surprising as we made it here earlier than expected. Once we were called back, the assistant came in and took a few normal vitals and asked about what happened and such. Once that was done, a few minutes later, Dr. Sailon came in. He introduced himself and let us know he had reviewed the tests that were done at the hospital. He went over all the details thoroughly, and let us know that even though the nose broke, it was not out of alignment and no further action would be needed for that part, so that was great news. After that was done, we were referred to another doctor that specializes in orbital fractures. It was a bit rough at first when contacting the next referral, as they thought it was a taking over of care. The receptionist here was great at getting that sorted out and able to get my mom seen there a few days later. Overall, this was a very good experience. All of the medical issues were addressed and explained easily. There was a genuine care and concern here. If I needed to come to a place like this as a patient, I would totally look at coming here as an option, even though it's further out for me since I live in the southern part of the city.

Dr Jablonka and Liz are the best! I was a botched patient. I had a double mastectomy in July…read more2015, I had to use my gluteal region to make me new breast because I did not have enough tissue in my arms or abdomen. After 15+ surgeries with another local surgeon, I was left with an implant on the left side (Flapped Died) and on the right side I had a rock-hard breast. I spent years in pain with horrible headaches and pains. I was referred to Dr. Jablonka and my life instantly changed. Words can't express how much Dr. Jablonka has changed my life. I was a difficult case due to the number of previous surgeries and the only region we had left to use were my inner thighs. We started with the left side, which was an instant success, but we discovered the right flap was dead inside my body and this why it was so hard and causing pain. Within three surgeries Dr. Jablonka was able to give me two successful flap transfers from my inner thighs. During my time in the hospital, Dr. Jablonka was there every morning by 6 AM or earlier and the feedback from the ICU nurses were amazing. The manual's he left to ensure all the nurses provided the level of care needed to ensure your flap did not die. Not only is he an amazing knowledgeable physician, but he also has the best bed side manner, and his staff is the best. Liz and Tess are amazing an always and there to answer any questions/concerns.

However, after they submitted my records my insurance approved the surgery in one day! Overall, it has been a pleasant experience and I would recommend this office :)
